ghost trees
When I saw the hurricane’s conch-shell curves on TV, I knew what came next: broken branches on the lawn, candlelight and cookouts. Instead we got the warm rains of a tropical storm. The winds whipped our trees around, as if they were swimming underwater. When I told my friend, El Diablo, he mentioned the ghost forests of the Washington coast.
Do trees have souls? I think yes.
